Hi.

I have no issues with CCNA simulations but I am getting errors when trying to open any of the CCNP Enor simulations. it's looking to open VMware player and getting error.

I have a concern about this Question.   The answer says that SW2 is the root bridge.   I believe SW4 is the root bridge with the lowest mac address.


Can you confirm?

Thanks

I think the answers listed on this question is wrong.

The answers for Unique Local should be 
"Allows sites to be combined without address conflict"


The answer of "Provide one to one communication " is for Global Unicast.



Thanks

Anyone having issues uploading the lab YAML files into CML? Seems like all of them have the same error message:

"Failed: Error importing topology file: Node n0 R10 definition iol-xe not found" 

I am running CML version 2.9.

We have just added the How2Pass Practice Test for Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals v1.2 (CBROPS 200-201) exam. The candidates need to pass this 120-minute exam to earn Cisco Certified Cybersecurity Associate Certification.

802.1Q Trunking, Native VLAN/LACP Configuration Sim

Where is the pka file for practicing??

Even though I was able to ping both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses from either router the "check results" came back as BIA, link local, and MAC Address as "incorrect". I was not making any changes to those parts. Only setting up the v4 and v6 addresses on both routers. I did save my configs.

I'm not sure why it says "incomplete"??

Am I missing something or does the pka need correction?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

As of 9/25/2025 2:53pm EST I passed my exam. I would like to give a special thanks to  chewosaurus their advice help greatly.

The material I used were the following:

1. This site test questions and sims ( the GNS3 here)  total 40 bucks
   
2. Dynamips.io Eve-ng full pack 99 bucks (50 bucks if it's on sale)
   
3. Networklessons.com (one dollar for the trial for 7 days, 39 a month for a sub)
   
4. Boson ( i had bought this 2 years ago so i have it permanently, before they went left and made it sub based) 
   
5. OSG from pearson ( i really don't recommend this )
   
6. Cisco white pages
   
7. examtopics ( don't use this site it's over priced and steals 70 percent of the questions and labs from this site!)
   

1. they give you GNS3 environment. All you have to do is just step up virtualization on your pc, laptop, linux if your cute or dare I say...mac OS. jokes a side
   
2. how2pass test questions and labs are accurate for now...I encountered half the questions on the live exam. I encountered two of the labs both times, I've taken the exam.
   
3. This site has forum support and they are helpful, also the community here is somewhat active and willing to help. I also, part of this community and willing to share my experience.
   

1. If it says troubleshoot  there is a lab
   
2. If it says configure there is most certainly a lab
   
3. if it says describe it's multiple choice
   

• Dmvpn with ipsec lab ( same as this site )
  
• AAA and access-list lab ( different from this site)
  
• SNMP lab ( different from this site)
  
• bgp lab ( entirely different from what this site had)
  
• 49 multi choice questions
  

• simple DMVPN lab ( on this site i think it's DMVPN lab one? it's the one where you have to configure hub and spoke phase 2 without ipsec)
  
• AAA and access-list lab ( same topology to the one on this site different task)
  
• Logging and snmp lab ( same as this site )
  
• DHCP, NETFLOW, IP SLA lab  
  
• 46 multiple choose
  

• 4.1 Troubleshoot device management
  
  • 4.1.a Console and VTY
    
  • 4.1.b Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, SCP
    
  • 4.1.c (T)FTP
    
• 4.2 Troubleshoot SNMP (v2c, v3)
  
• 4.3 Troubleshoot network problems using logging (local, syslog, debugs, conditional debugs, timestamps, telemetry)
  
• 4.4 Troubleshoot IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP (DHCP client, IOS DHCP server, DHCP relay, DHCP options)
  
• 4.5 Troubleshoot network performance issues using IP SLA (jitter, tracking objects, delay, connectivity)
  
• 4.6 Troubleshoot NetFlow (v9, flexible NetFlow, Ipfix)
  
• 4.7 Troubleshoot network problems using Cisco Catalyst Center Assurance (formerly Cisco DNA Center) (connectivity, monitoring, device health, network health)
  

Helllo forums support,


I did the PBR redistribution sim#3. However, I feel like everyone would be interested in the additional solution for task 3


So, task 3 states:

Task #3
Ensure that on R3, prefix 10.0.56.6/32 uses the SP1 to route to the Internet, whereas prefix 172.16.12.2/32 uses the SP2 to route to the Internet. Do not use BGP to accomplish this. Use the pre-configured route-maps INTERNET1 and INTERNET2 and modify to accomplish the task if required. Use the ping and trace commands from R6 and R2 to prefixes 209.165.202.146 and 209.165.202.158, respectively to verify the results.

the proposed additional solution states:

n task 2, we redistributed EIGRP routes into OSPF on R4 with metric type 1. This means that all traffic from EIGRP will be treated as OSPF routes and will follow the OSPF path from R4 → R2 → R1 → R3. As a result, R6 will not be able to reach SP1. There are two ways to fix this: first, by configuring default static routes on R6 and R5; second, by redistributing only R2's Loopback0 and R5's Loopback0 IP addresses. This can be done using route-maps, but the tasks specify that we should not use route-maps. 

The bold statement above is half correct. Task 2 states the following:

Ensure that R2 loopback 1 reaches to R5's loopback 1 by following the path through R2, R4, R6 to R5 and R5 loopback 1 reaches R2's loopback 1 by following the path through R5, R6, R4 to R2. Use metric values K1= 100000, K2=1, K3=255, K4=10, K5=1500 to modify the default metric in EIGRP if required. Do not add or modify the default-metric command under router eigrp 10. Do not use a route-map "to set metrics."  
we are not to use a route-map to "set metrics" it never explicitly stated "do not use a route-map." for evidence take a look at PBR and Redistribution Sim #2. Task 2 explicitly states "do not use a route-map." Thus, preventing the use of any route-map for redistribution between ospf and eigrp on R3.

In conclusion, per cisco's best practice for redistribution tagging is in order to prevent any of the following:

redistributing the internal network back into itself
sub optimal routing ( which is the case in this lab)

please verify if my discovery is valid.

Thanks

I usually wouldn't complain about bad wording, but since moving over from the ENCOR to the ENARSI it's getting ridiculous..

The correct answer here is worded so poorly.
"By default, EIGRP performs equal cost load balancing at least across four equal cost paths"
I interpreted this as 4 is the minimum, and there could be more automatically.

Maybe change the answer to: 
"EIGRP does equal-cost load balancing across four paths by default."

I know there's so many mistakes on these tests, but this one just threw me off.. does anyone proof-read anything before putting it out?

Thanks.
